I would like to learn about wood turning – I am a complete novice! Any advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated
Hi Katy,
Where are you based? – The best advice I can give is join a club or visit your local turning supply shop.
Phil
Great website, really enjoyed my visit. Really good inspiration and resource for a novice like myself. Congratulations to your club on reaching a marvellous milestone. Thank you. Cambridgeshire, so too far to travel for your meetings. A
Hello. I enjoyed Woodturning at school and would very much like to get into it again. Please can you tell me of there are any courses or workshops in the Southampton area?
Hi Laura,
sorry for the delayed response. we are your nearest club in the Southampton area. Our club runs training – we don’t have the next one planned, but I’m sure it is in the works. Our members also do informal training. If you are looking for a formal course/teaching. We can highly recommend Les Thorne – http://www.noturningback.co.uk/ntbk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=56
we meet the first Monday of the month and our new members team will be happy to talk through our clubs options – https://hants-woodturners-hwa.co.uk/about-us/
Hi, I’m looking to take up turning as it has always interested me. I live in hook, north hampshire and wondered if anyone knew of any groups near me, also does anyone know of any cheap secondhand lathes for sale?
Many thanks,
James
Hi James,
The following website has all the locations of official clubs in the UK – https://www.awgb.co.uk/club-map/
Looks like the Surrey assoc woodturners is the closest to Hook.
Our trading post page has an up-to-date list of lathes, tools we have on sale – https://hants-woodturners-hwa.co.uk/trading-post/
Best advice is to go to a club, try out/practice on a club lathe before you buy.
